Abstract

The nine papers published in this welcome volume derive from a single day’s conference at Paris-Sorbonne in June 2013, the publication date planned to coincide with that of two new editions of Casanova’s autobiography, L’Histoire de ma vie (one edited by Gérard Lahouati and Marie-Françoise Luna (Paris: Gallimard, 2015), and the other by Jean-Christophe Igalens and Erik Leborgne (Paris: Laffont, 2017)). The volume ends with a substantial bibliography, and abstracts of all papers in both French and English.
